Solve using inverse operations.

Question

u+11/3=1/3

A(4
B(10/3
C(-4
D(-10/3

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( u + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \) using inverse operations, we will isolate \( u \).

1. Start with the equation: \[ u + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \]

2. To isolate \( u \), subtract \( \frac{11}{3} \) from both sides: \[ u = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{11}{3} \]

3. Now, perform the subtraction on the right side: \[ u = \frac{1 - 11}{3} = \frac{-10}{3} \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ u = -\frac{10}{3} \]

The correct answer is \( D(-\frac{10}{3}) \).
